Simultaneously quantifying parent drugs and screening for metabolites in plasma pharmacokinetic samples using selected reaction monitoring information-dependent acquisition on a QTrap instrument

Bioanalytical support of plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) studies for drug discovery programs primarily involves the quantitative analysis of dosed compounds using liquid chromatography/atmospheric pressure ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) operated in selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. However, there is a growing need for information on the metabolism of new chemical entities (NCEs), in addition to the time-concentration profiles from these studies. In this paper, we present a novel approach to not only quantify parent drugs with SRM, but also simultaneously screen for metabolites using a hybrid triple quadrupole/linear ion trap (QqQ(LIT)) instrument. This was achieved by incorporating both the conventional SRM-only acquisition of parent compounds and the SRM-triggered information-dependent acquisition (IDA) of potential metabolites within the same scan cycle during the same LC/MS/MS run. Two test compounds were used to demonstrate the applicability of this approach. Plasma samples from PK studies were processed by simple protein precipitation and the supernatant was diluted with water before injection. The fast scanning capability of the linear ion trap allowed for the information-dependent acquisition of metabolite MS/MS spectra (<1 s/scan), in addition to the collection of adequate data points for SRM-only channels. The MS/MS spectra obtained from potential metabolites in post-dose samples correlated well with the spectra of the parent compounds studied, therefore providing additional confirmatory structure information without the need for repetitive analyses. Relative quantitative time-concentration profiles of identified metabolites were also obtained. Furthermore, this articulated SRM+SRM-IDA approach generated equivalent quantitative results for parent compounds to those obtained by conventional SRM-only analysis. This approach has been successfully used to support discovery PK screening programs.

Stannous oxalate as a novel catalyst for the synthesis of polytrimethylene terephthalate

Stannous oxalate was prepared efficiently and characterized by XRD and FT-IR. It exhibited higher catalytic activity and had profitable effect than tetrabutyl titanate and stannous octoate for the synthesis of polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) via esterification-route. Over this catalyst, the degree of esterification of pure terephthalic acid was up to 94.4% at 260°C after 1.5 h, while the intrinsic viscosity and content of terminal carboxyl groups of the corresponding PTT polyester, polymerized at 260°C, 60 Pa for 2 h, was 0.8950 dL/g and 15 mol/t, respectively. Stannous oxalate was a promising catalyst for the synthesis of PTT polyester.     

Microdetermination of sulfite with a piezoelectric crystal detector

A piezoelectric method is proposed for the determination of sulfite in concentration range 1 × 10^–7–1 × 10^–5 mol/1. The method is based on the redox reaction of sulfite with iodine followed by measuring frequency change of the piezoelectric crystal caused by the unreacted iodine. The method is applied to the determination of sulfite in liquor.     

Solid-phase Synthesis of-Haloaldehydes from Polymer-supported 4-(Phenylseleno)morpholine

Polymer-supported reagents for organic synthesis are enjoying a renewed popularity with the emergence of combinatorial chemistry in recent years1. 4-(Arylseleno)morpholines formed in situ are useful -seleno-introducing reagents for saturated aldehydes2. -Sele- noaldehydes, as a frequently used intermediates, can be converted into -haloaldehydes by halogenating reaction3. However, organic selenium reagents always have a foul smell and are quite toxic, which is often problematic in organic sy…
